RT Book T1 The Kaurs of 1984: the untold, unheard stories of Sikh women A1 Wazir, Sanam Sutirath LA English PP Gurugram, Haryana PB HarperCollins Publshers India YR 2024 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/189467880X AB More than three decades after Operation Blue Star of June 1984 and the anti-Sikh violence later that year, a young man is given the task of researching the violence. What he finds devastates him. Among the many oral testimonies, one crucial constituency has remained silent. Hundreds of Sikh women witnessed hell coming to life that year. These included women who were stranded inside the Golden Temple, who stood by their militant men, and those who were, at one time in their lives, militants themselves. They are rape survivors. They are among the murdered. They are the forgotten. Sanam Sutirath Wazir's research has taken him across north India to meet the women who lived to tell the tale, many of whom are still fighting invisible battles for justice. Based on interviews and extensive historical research, in The Kaurs of 1984, Wazir weaves together scattered stories of grief, betrayal and loss that finally brings Sikh women out of the shadows of contemporary Indian history CN DS432.S5 SN 9789362130297 K1 Anti-Sikh Riots, India, 1984 K1 Sikh women : Crimes against : India K1 Sikh women : Crimes against : India : Case studies K1 Rape Victims : India K1 Rape Victims : India : Case studies K1 Asiatische Geschichte K1 Civil rights & citizenship K1 Gender studies: women K1 Geschichte: Ereignisse und Themen K1 Gewalt und Missbrauch in der Gesellschaft K1 HIS062000 K1 Human Rights K1 Political structure & processes K1 Religious & theocratic ideologies K1 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies K1 Victimes de viol - Inde K1 Victimes de viol - Inde - Études de cas K1 Femmes sikhs - Crimes contre - Inde K1 Femmes sikhs - Crimes contre - Inde - Études de cas K1 Indien : Weibliche Sikh : Pogrom : Geschichte 1984
